Chapter 4
Previously…
"Edward, it's ok, I've went skydiving when I was 9, it's kind of fun. " He just stared at me like I grew a second head. "Please Edward?" I tried to dazzle him by smiling. I think it worked. "Ok," He replied. "But if you have any second thoughts you must tell me at once." I nodded. I would go through with this dare to make my soon-to-be family proud.

In the car on the way to the skydiving place in right by Seattle, (It actually exists I checked :D) we got into a little traffic. Jasper was driving, because even though Edward wanted to drive, Jasper convinced him otherwise. So Edward was sitting in the backseat with me and Alice was sitting in the passenger seat searching the future.
We came to a road-block on the highway we were taking and Jasper got angry after 3 minutes. I guess vampires aren't very patient. Once he got angry he accidently projected it into the rest of us.
I got angry at Edward for rubbing on my back a little too hard, and he got angry back at me. Soon we were yelling at each other until Alice yelled, "Enough! Jasper: Calm down. Edward: Just take your hands off Bella. Bella: It's not Edwards fault.
Soon I felt Jasper's calm take affect and I started to feel tears running down my already red face. "Edward I'm so sorry." I sobbed. "Love, it's my fault, I'm a monster." He said quietly. "It's not your fault, I'm the one who yelled at you for no reason." I said. Before he could speak, Jasper interrupted, "It's not any of your faults, it's mine. Just stop fighting."
Edward and I stopped fighting and he pulled me onto his lap. We each murmured I'm sorry into each other ears until we got to the sky diving area. A giant knot clenched in my stomach. I was a little afraid of heights, and what if my parachute didn't open? Then I realized that any of my family would give me a parachute because they didn't need one.
I laughed, so I would technically have five back up parachutes. "What's so funny love?" Edward asked, slightly amused. "I was just thinking how I would have 5 back-up parachutes if mine didn't work." He chuckled.
After we got through the training- I which the instructor basically taught us how to act like chickens and pull our parachutes- we boarded the plane.
The plane took off shortly after, and before I could gain control our pilot told us to get ready. Edward whispered in my ear, "You don't need to do this, love." But, I did need to. To show the Cullens that I could fit in their family. I just kept repeating to myself that I could do this. Then I jumped off the plane with Edward strapped to me.
I screamed, a lot. I guess Edward didn't expect it so I had to make him calm down. It felt as if someone had ripped my stomach out and twirled it around and around until they just let go.
I looked over at Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. They looked like they were enjoying themselves. But Edward's face was pure happiness. I would go sky diving a million times to see that beautiful smile on his face.
Then he pulled the parachute. I felt a jerk upwards, and then Edward whispering, "Are you ok Bella?" "I'm fine, Edward." I replied. We then began a slow decent to the ground. The two couples around us were cheering and Alice giggling. Edward's feet hit the ground first, since he's taller. When we hit the ground, Rosalie said, "Well you completed your dare Bella, good job."
I was shocked; Rosalie never says anything nice to anyone, especially me. I stuttered a reply, "Th…thanks."
Rosalie and Emmett took Rosalie's BMW and Alice, Jasper, Edward and I took the Porsche back to the house. On the way home, Alice and Edward wanted to know what it was like for a human. I just explained that it probably went by faster. "I guess this is the only fun recreational sport you guys have?" I asked. "It's better when we take our private jet over water and don't use the parachutes. " Alice giggled.
We got back to the Cullen house when I saw Carlisle standing in the doorframe. He looked angry. He said, "Children, I can't believe you would go sky diving without telling Esme and I. Bella could've gotten hurt!"
"Bella was safe, I would have seen if something could go wrong." Alice replied.
Carlisle grumbled, "Why didn't you ask us to come? We like to have fun as much as you children."
"Sorry Dad." We all mumbled.
Carlisle the said, "Ok, now go continue your game. Just don't break anyone or anything."
Then he was gone. We all sat down and everyone looked at me expectantly. I spoke up, "Al…" "NO! WHY BELLA! WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU?" I sighed, "Alice, you're the only one who hasn't gone yet." She sighed, "Fine." She searched the future and reluctantly said, "Dare."
I didn't even ask yet! You know, just go along with it. "Alice, have you ever not wanted to shop?"
She looked at me like a priest at a sinner.
